Moon Shot: The Inside Story of the Apollo Project (1994)
Barry Corbin, Alan Shepard
Turner Home Ent, 1998
great introduction for teenagers
I have used this documentary in my physics classes for the past 8 years during our unit on planetary and satellite motion, and they always LOVE it. The "storytelling" presentation really pulls them into the film, and they get so attached to the Mercury Seven that we ...

Four Days in November
Richard Basehart, Charles de Gaulle
MGM (Video & DVD), 1998
Indispensable! The Best JFK Assassination Film Ever Made!
"Four Days In November" is my all-time favorite program dealing with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. You really get a sense of "re-living" the events of November 22-25, 1963, when America's all-too-young, 46-year-old leader was gunned down on the sunny ...

STARTING TO WORRY
I have used this series for a few years now and have had great success with it. Not just the old school compilation of talking heads, but an engaging, well-paced documentary. However, as others have said, I am getting concerned about its availability in the future when ...

Woodstock - 3 Days of Peace & Music (The Director's Cut)
Richie Havens, Joan Baez
Warner Home Video, 1994
Tickling My Inner Flower Child
Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music was far from the straightforward Discovery Channel-type documentary that I imagined. There was none of the typical narrative, offsite interviews of resource persons, or anything post-event.
This film was made at the very heart of ...

Elvis on Tour
Elvis Presley, Ed Wideman
MGM (Warner), 1997
Elvis on Tour - the best
I ageee to the fact that this records so much of what Elvis really was and still is. And even though we could not help but to see his beautiful stage clothes and how great he wears them, and at times his sadness, a more focus on his voice should be considered ...
